Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM)

What is Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM)?

Definition
Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) provides unified visibility into all assets—across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments—so security teams can quickly identify and remediate vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity risks.

Why it matters
Organizations often struggle to answer basic questions about their assets: What do we own? Where are the exposures? Who has access? CAASM solves this by consolidating asset data from multiple tools and creating a single, reliable inventory for security operations.

How it works
CAASM solutions ingest data from CMDBs, EDRs, cloud providers, and vulnerability scanners, normalizing and correlating it to eliminate duplicates and reveal relationships between assets, vulnerabilities, and users.

How Brinqa helps
Brinqa connects asset, identity, and vulnerability data into a unified risk model. By mapping every asset to its associated exposures, Brinqa enables complete visibility and faster prioritization—helping teams take control of their entire attack surface.
